For the box town idea below (from Enchanted Learning) I would have the students create different places of work. For example students could create a Police Station, a Fire Station, a Doctors Officer, a Post Office, a Bakery, a School, a farm (barn), etc. This is a fun, hands on activity to get the student's creative minds working :) !
